We went for the muddiest walk today but it was so We went for the muddiest walk today but it was so good to get outside. Luca did a spectacular welly boot save when the mud suckered it off but he managed to land his foot back inside it without falling over. The boys were wet through by the time we got back to the car. They soon warmed up at Grandad's sat in pants watching cartoons and eating crisps. A pretty stellar day all in all!

Running off some steam after a few days indoors. Running off some steam after a few days indoors. We're lucky to live in a fab city where historic sites, green spaces and waterways are all within a 20 minute walk from home. It seemed the perfect day for getting a few pics to round off the 2020 album. According to G the days of "normal" smiles in photos are long gone. We live with a pair of comedians! . #childhoodunplugged #gloucesterlife
Starting a new Christmas tradition with a 1000 pie Starting a new Christmas tradition with a 1000 piece puzzle. Turns out the tube makes it really tricky to look at the picture and the pieces are pretty small. Could be here a while - see you in January!
One of the jobs I didn't get round to before Chris One of the jobs I didn't get round to before Christmas was freeing up space on my phone for photos 🙈. So rationed to just one picture you get 50% of the Moorey's wishing you a Merry Christmas. Sending love and hugs out to all corners of the world and sharing the stories of Christmas past to remember those no longer with us. Lots of love x
Not your usual shopping list for Christmas Eve eve Not your usual shopping list for Christmas Eve eve but loss has been such a big part of this year and the opportunity to remember loved ones together is so comforting. We don't have candles at home since a near accident with a cat tail many moons ago so Luca and I dashed off into the rain this morning to get some beautiful vegan plant wax candles from @idunspirit . We'll join the circle of light remembering loved ones tomorrow at 7pm. . My Mum passed away peacefully at @sueryderleckhampton 2 years ago and I was touched by the idea of a shared remembrance on Christmas Eve. I bought a candle for my Dad and dear friend who will be missing her Mum too. . Sending love and courage to all who are heavy hearted missing loved ones this Christmas. Especially to those who are missing a parent, sibling or child. 3 friends have lost Dad's in the last week and the pain of wondering how to make sense of life without them is the journey they now face. Lean in to support and feel all the feels. Huge hugs dear ones x . (Please comment below if you're remembering someone. The boys have asked to join me to remember Nana as well as their beloved cats Poppet and Mikey and we'd happily include a tribute to your loved ones in our thoughts)
We went to our favourite local gardens yesterday a We went to our favourite local gardens yesterday and my friend said "ooh I'm just going to pick up some of the fallen greenery for my Christmas wreath". What a good idea I thought as we've never made one (with a house opening on to the pavement i always presumed it would soon disappear if I did make or buy one!). . Using a couple of ivy twines to make my egg shaped circle I just used some multicoloured yarn to wrap around it and secure the foliage. It looked pretty ropey until I sewed on some of the dried orange slices from my friend Lisa's home made pot pourri. Transformed and ready to hang on the door when I work out how! . #gloucesterlife #christmascrafting #wreathmaking

For the last few weeks kids all across Kingsholm h For the last few weeks kids all across Kingsholm have been on the hunt for painted advent pebbles. Each Sunday parishioners from St Catharine's church have hidden them and a buzz begins about where they might be found. . Today after school we went up to Hillfield Gardens to find an angel for Luca. We'd already resolved to make some ourselves if we weren't lucky enough to find one. We now how our official @stcatsglos nativity set and our newly growing Moorey version which includes a duck and a rocket (of course!). I love how this act of community is sparking new conversations and growing friendships through rock swaps and rehides. . #kingsholmrocks #communityspirit #stcatsglos #findingjesus

He made: * a worry doll * a glittery pine cone * a flower out of scrap * cheese twists to eat * a bean bag for catching games * a moustachy disguise * an animated chin video! We still have activities to work through! For more details visit Ellie's page @boredombagsuk . #gloucesterlife #boredombags #childhoodunplugged #creativity #craftingwithkids
Oh what a lovely morning I've had at Charlies Canc Oh what a lovely morning I've had at Charlies Cancer Support and Therapy Centre in Gloucester. Jo who runs the centre is the first person outside of my family to receive an aromatherapy massage from me. Jo experienced the soothing effects of a wild rose facial and hand massage in the tranquil surroundings of her own treatment room! . I don't have a therapy space at home so Jo is kindly letting me use her treatment room when Charlie's is closed on Fridays. If you'd like to take advantage of free hands-on wellbeing support I'm asking for a £10 donation to Charlie's in exchange for the beautiful space. I already have my 11am slots booked out but if you're local and can be in the centre of Gloucester at 9.30am do get in touch (I'll be working my way through my volunteers list so don't worry if you've already told me you're interested). . What a lovely way for Jo to start a very busy day. Today she treated the volunteers to a pre-Christmas lunch while drawing the annual Charlie's raffle. Over £2000 was raised and hundreds of prized gifted. Christmas come early for some today x . #aromatherapystudent #practicingselfcare #weledalove #loveyourskin #loveyourbody #organicskincare #naturalingredients

Lockdown with a 4 year old - saying yes to extra t Lockdown with a 4 year old - saying yes to extra telly, treats and a blue hair cut to make up for the forced confinement. We made the Christmas wreath from our library craft bag but all agreed it made a much better lion's mane! . #gloucesterlife #isolationwithkids
If Covid has shown us anything it's how gorgeously If Covid has shown us anything it's how gorgeously community minded we are in a crisis. Hearing about acts of kindness and support during lockdown have been so heartwarming. Being able to help others is good for the soul. . Today we were the happy recipients of an act of kindness from @ruthlessbide . Ruth knocked on our door after her visit to the library with a craft pack for Luca and my book reservation. I didn't even remember I'd ordered it back in Feb when looking up Brene Brown books. We're so lucky to have wonderful friends who happen to live nearby. . Libraries are now open for borrowing books and they have free craft packs for children when you take in their borrower card
